The Rev. Father William E. Bartlett OF st.
AIMS Catholic Church. York road, yesterday
announced to his congregation that he had
unwittingly performed a marriage ceremony
for a couple. and that the man was Ineligible
to marry by reason of having a former wife still
living. Previous to beginning his sermon at
the 10 O'Clock mass he said: "All people are apt
to make mistakes aud am no exception to

that on the Oath OF August last George Z. Cook
Of the county Galway, ireland. and Margaret
Finley OF Mount Savage, Md, were married In

to know that the parties were free to contract
marriage licitly and validity. have been since
informed by respectable. persons related to
one Of the parties that Mr. Cook had wife
living at the time Of his attempted marriage
This being the case, the marriage was and is
invalid In the DYES OF the Church and State"
After church Father Bartlett told reporter
that Cook. who Is advanced In life. came to
him with his license duly made out. and sol-
emily asseverated that he had had wife, but
that she WAS dead. This was the truth, but at
the same time an awful nntruth. for his first
wife did die years ago. His second wife Ia still
living in Washington, and l have seen her In
this city since. Cook. II appears. tried to get
Father Gallen OF st. Vncent's to marry him,
but Father Gallen's doubts prevented him
